i used an interior dimension of 12 1/2" on the short/frame rest ends. that gave me a 14" box outside dimension with 3/4" stock. it's my understanding mann lake uses 14" o.d.
also if you multiply 1 3/8" by 8 and add 3/8" twice i think you get 12 1/2"

Thanks! I thought I had figured at 14" od, but when I checked MB's site, he was cutting mediums down to 15.75" od, I think.

I bought the "Brushy Mountain" teaching hive (8frame) and it is the only piece of 8 frame I have and it is 13 3/4" out side and you can put 9 frames in it now but that wont work if the bees have used it for a while.
